Brilliant Dumfries and Galloway Wedding Venues.

Dumfries and Galloway Wedding Venues are some of the best wedding venues in the entire country. Not to mention the fact that elopement weddings started right here in Gretna. Most people think of Glasgow or the Highlands as the best venues for weddings but I can assure you Dumfries and Galloway has some of the best around. With Hundreds of miles of rugged coastline, large country estates and house hotels, to our amazing forests at lochs, there is something to suit every taste. Below are 8 examples of some (but certainly not all) of the Dumfries and Galloway Wedding Venues we have to offer as a region.

The newest venue to grace our region right in the heart of Galloway. The purposely built GGs yard owned by Duncan and Vicky McConchie. Set on the hillside overlooking the fantastic Kirkcudbrightshire Coastline and the glorious Galloway Hills. No detail has been overlooked in creating a fantastic rustic wedding venue. Each inch of the property has been crafted with your enjoyment in mind.

A delightful country house hotel filled with lots of character and a beautiful marquee too. The grounds are set within a beautiful estate of ancient woodlands and picturesque views over the river Nith, which is one of the locations you can choose to have a stunning outdoor Scottish ceremony. It has a wonderful charm of the baronial style house which has strong ties to Robert Burns who lived nearby.

Now if your a couple who is thinking of making a traditional elopement to Dumfries & Galloway and have a small group of guests, then Orroland Lodge is a perfect place for an intimate wedding. With views overlooking the Solway Firth and a Clifftop Ceremony Area is enough to make you go weak at the knees. They have their own private beach on the estate as well and a beautiful garden designed by the family and boating pond too it’s a hidden gem in the region.

One of the areas largest wedding venues right in the heart of Dumfries is Easterbrook Hall. Set on a large estate one of the biggest wow factors of this venue is their beautiful memorial church, one of the attributes of the Crichton Church is that it is non denominational, which means it is not restricted to one particular faith. The venue has a large selection of beautiful function rooms as well as its own Gardens which look beautiful all year round.

After its recent acquisition by the Rad Group who own other lovely venues such as Lochside House Hotel. Hetland Hall has been completely transformed into a modern elegant country house set amidst 18 acres of private parkland with its sweeping views over the Solway, you can see Criffel (Dumfries’ Tallest Hill) on a good day on their beautiful balcony. Just off the A75 its one of the closet wedding venues to the border with England.

The Dalswinton Estate with its very own Glasstop Marquee is an ideal venue for a couple looking for something a little different that a country house wedding. The estate boasts its own Wee Red Barony Church, a stunning Church that you see all over the world. The grounds of the estate are set over looking the lovely loch, complete with its own Turret in the middle, and walled garden to name a few. A quirky venue full of lots of character.

Springkell is a stunning Palladian Mansion built from 1734 and just 6 miles from historic Gretna Green and is a wonderfully elegant venue. No expense has been spared on any of the details added by the Johnson-Ferguson Family who own and run the Venue. With a recent addition of a permanent marquee Springkell has alot of history and character that add that level of je ne sais quoi to your big day.

This list is in no way complete there are some many other fantastic venues in the area that i’ve not had time to mention but I will be doing a part two on the series shortly. Where is your favourite Dumfries and Galloway Wedding Venue let me know in the comments below.

We knew after a quick coffee, he was the one to capture our wedding day. He listened to what we did/didn’t want, gave us a good idea as to what to expect on the day and kept in touch right through the planning process. On the day, he more than our photographer, he was helping organising us all, keeping our daughter entertained to name a few. Cameron was the photographer at my cousins wedding prior to ours so the whole family knew him and really feel he made such an effort to get to know us all. - Kate & Chris.

It was so great to have Cameron capturing our wedding. We were initially unsure about having a wedding photographer as we were worried about taking time away from our guest etc. but after speaking to Cameron he reassured us it wouldn't be intrusive on the day and he was absolutely right! He's also a lovely guy. Rebecca & Alan.

We chose Cameron to photograph our wedding back in April this year and it was the best decision we made, Cameron made us feel so comfortable through out the whole day and was great with our son also! Nothing was a bother to him and we had great laughs along the way! Have already recommend to a few of our friends soon to be married too! Thank you again Cameron! We loved every photo!! Charlotte & Callum.
